  • 1 BAB 1 PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Pembentukan
    BAB 1 PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Pembentukan dan penyebaran dunia baru imajinasi yang ditawarkan lewat jaringan media, seperti iklan televisi, mau tidak mau menjadi kebutuhan hidup yang diterima dan dihidupi oleh masyarakat. Bahkan semakin tidak bisa dihindarkan bahwa, aturan, nilai, dan cita rasa yang ditawarkan dalam dunia imajinasi menjadi hukum yang ditaati oleh dunia konkret manusia tersebut. Iklan sebagai salah satu perwujudan kebudayaan massa tidak hanya bertujuan menawarkan dan mempengaruhi calon konsumen untuk membeli barang atau jasa, tetapi juga ikut menciptakan nilai tertentu yang secara terpendam terdapat di dalam iklan tersebut. Jadi, iklan yang sehari-hari kita temukan diberbagai media massa cetak maupun elektronik dapat dikatakan bersifat simbolik. Artinya, iklan dapat menjadi simbol sejauh imaji yang ditampilkannya membentuk dan merefleksikan nilai hakiki. Featherstone menyatakan nilai dan tema klasifikasi gaya hidup konsumen yang diciptakan tanpa acuan dalam realitas seolah menjadi nyata, benar dan alamiah dalam iklan. Iklan telah ikut mendiktekan tema-tema citra semu atau citra pigura seperti stereotype sempit kecantikan ideal yang selalu digambarkan sebagai perempuan yang berkulit putih, berambut lurus dan panjang, berkaki jenjang serta langsing. Sementara yang tidak memiliki kriteria tersebut dinilai tidak termasuk kategori cantik (Featherstone dalam Setyawan, 2011: 4). Dari pernyataan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa media iklan dapat 1 mengkonstruksikan realitas kecantikan perempuan terhadap masyarakat. Iklan dapat memunculkan sistem nilai baru dan merubah sistem nilai yang sudah ada di masyarakat, iklan dapat menciptakan suatu sistem yang seragam secara keseluruhan. Standar ideal mengenai perempuan cantik pada era tahun 60-70 an adalah memiliki tubuh kurus, kulit hitam, dan rambut berombak. Tahun 80 an seorang perempuan cantik adalah sosok perempuan yang memiliki kulit halus dan lembut.

By means of empirical examination that includes oral interviews of women living in Italy as well as in the Dominican Republic, the author considers the racialization of Dominican identity in relation to Italian national identity. Through the stories of two high- profile Dominican women immigrants in Italy, Denny Méndez (Miss Italy 1996) and Mercedes Frías (Parliament Representative 2006), this article explores how blackness permits Dominicans to be represented within the Italian nation, allowing them to belong, although in an often-conflicting border. This essay facilitates an original transatlantic and multi-disciplinary dialogue that engages discourse analysis of oral interviews as well as various theories on gender, race, ethnicity and migration.
